MCQ
Nuclei tend to have more neutrons than protons at high mass numbers because
- ANeutrons are neutral particles
- ✓More neutrons minimize the coulomb repulsion
- CNeutrons have more mass than protons
- DNeutrons decrease the binding energy
✓
Answer
Correct option: B.
More neutrons minimize the coulomb repulsion
b
Since neutrons are uncharged but their mesonic exchanges, with protons and neutrons itself contribute to stability, [It has limited application].
